3 1. Overview The ( controlled device ) can be controlled from an external device ( external controller ), such as a computer, through a serial RS-232C connection. 2. Specifications 2.1. Electrical Specifications Standard JIS X-5101 (equivalent to the former JIS-C-6361 and EIA RS-232C standards) Note that this is not compatible with the RS-422 used in professional VTRs. Impedance at receiver When measured with an applied voltage between -3 V and +3 V or between -15 V and +15 V, the DC resistance is between 3 k ohms and 7 k ohms. Total load capacitance is 2500 pf or less. Open circuit voltage at transmitter 25V or less Open circuit voltage at receiver 2V or less Signal voltage When the open circuit voltage at the receiver is 0 V, the signal voltage is between -5 V and +5 V or between -15 V and +15V against a load impedance between 3 k ohms and 7 k ohms. Signal discrimination Logic 1 : -3V or less Logic 0 : +3V or more 2.2. Communication format Circuit type 3-wire, Half-duplex Transmission type Digital binary serial signal rate (baud rate) 4800/9600/19200/38400 bits/sec bits 7/8 bits Parity bits /ODD/EVEN Stop bits 1/2 bit * signal rate, bits, Parity bits, and Stop bits can be set from the menu of the controlled device

5 3. Format 3.1. Format Overview The command format is as follows. Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 Byte 5 Byte 6 Byte 7 Byte 8 Byte n LF ID CR A command uses a 2-byte ASCII format, starting with Line Field (LF), which is followed by machine ID, and ending with Carriage Return (CR). For information about machine ID, see the section 3-2 Machine ID. A command is followed by a byte string, which consists of data ranging from 0 bytes (if the command includes no data) to 98 bytes, maximum. For detailed information about data, see each of the sections explaining commands. Note that capital letters are used for A to F for commands that use 0 to 9 and A to F as data values. examples Example 1: Sending the PLAY command to the controlled device with the machine ID=0 When the controlled device is in the stop or ready state, the PLAY command starts playing the controlled device. The PLAY command is [12] and sent in the following format. ID ASCII LF CR HEX 0Ah 30h 31h 32h 0Dh Example 2: Performing a direct search for the track 12 on the controlled device with the machine ID=0 To do a direct search for the track 12, DIRECT TRACK SEARCH PRESET command [23] is sent. bytes consist of 2-byte ASCII characters. A track number is specified in the DIRECT TRACK SEARCH PRESET command as shown below. 1 tens digit of the track number to be specified 2 ones digit of the track number to be specified 3 thousands digit of the track number to be specified 4 hundreds digit of the track number to be specified Based on the above rule, the send command is described as follows. ID : 12th track ASCII LF CR HEX 0Ah 30h 32h 33h 31h 32h 30h 30h 0Dh 3.2. Machine ID The Machine ID is fixed at [0]. A command with the machine ID other than [0] is ignored

6 3.3. Sequence In most cases, the controlled device does not send an ACK command in response to a transport control command or data preset command that is sent from an external controller. The controlled device sends a return command in response to a data sense command that requests the controlled device to return the controlled device's preset data values. If the controlled device switches from one state to another - from stop state to playback state, for example, or if an error occurs, the controlled device sends a command to notify the external controller about the state transition. Examples of command sequences are shown below. Make sure that commands are sent at a minimum of 20-millisecond intervals. Example 1: Using a transport control of the controlled device (e.g. playback) When entering the playback state after receiving the playback command, the controlled device sends the CHANGE STATUS command. The controlled device does not send an ACK command in response to this command. External controller PLAY -> <- Controlled device CHANGED STATUS Status of the controlled device STOP Sent when the controlled device enters the playback state Example 2: Presetting data (e.g. pitch control data) When receiving the PITCH CONTROL DATA PRESET command, the controlled device sets the pitch control data. The controlled device does not send an ACK command in response to this command. External controller PITCH CONTROL DATA PRESET -> (preset to -1.0 %) Controlled device Status of the controlled device Sets the pitch control data to -1.0% Example 3: Requesting currently set data (e.g. pitch control data) When receiving the PITCH CONTROL DATA PRESET (Sense) command, the controlled device sends the set pitch control data. Status of the controlled External controller Controlled device device PITCH CONTROL DATA -> PRESET (Sense) <- PITCH CONTROL DATA RETURN - 6 -

7 Example 4: Performing the next operation after checking the status of the controlled device When switching from one mode to another, the controlled device sends the CHANGED STATUS command. Then, in response to the CHANGED STATUS command, the MECHA STATUS SENSE command is sent from the external controller so that the new operation mode can be checked. The following table shows that recording is started on the external controller after the controlled device s record ready mode is confirmed. Status of the controlled device External controller Controlled device STOP RECORD (Record Ready) -> CHANGED STATUS Sent when the controlled device <- enters record ready mode MECHA STATUS SENSE -> MECHA STATUS RETURN Returns the current status <- information (record ready) RECORD (Record) -> CHANGES STATUS Sent when the controlled device <- enters recording mode - 7 -
